@Radical_EgoCom Point taken, but whoever wrote the meme is conveniently ignoring the end when Walt admits he did it because he loved it.
@kingtor
That was the result of his personality deteriorating, and how it progressed is very well shown throughout the series. Originally he knew nothing about criminal underworld in general and drug cartels in particular, about money laundering and coercing people, he was just a school teacher trying to secure normal life for his family after he's gone.

@m0xee @Radical_EgoCom Sure, but was Heisenberg in him all along or was Heisenberg born of that drive to provide for his family? You can definitely read that as the dramatic question of the whole Gilliverse.
No matter, though. IRL, the whole system creates situations where that Heisenberg is either born or set free to deal with the mess.
@kingtor
Exactly! Even if that "dark side" is indeed part of human nature, it may lay dormant all our life and never awaken. Had he not been put in these extreme conditions and it became acceptable for him to give up some of his morals to fend for his family, he might've taken Heisenberg to his grave.
If not all, then most of us, have this dark side, but the extent to which we let it take the wheel is different.

@kingtor The show did an amazing job to demonstrate that — his family did support him and gave up some of their morals too, but then then there was some wake up call for them — I don't remember it too well, AFAIR it had something to do with hurting their brother-in-law who was with the DEA. It's ironic how he did it all "for the family", but in the end stepping on this path of destruction set even them apart. That's what giving in to the dark side entails! Spectacular show! 😁
